BEIJING, Jan. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Dada Group (Nasdaq:
DADA) ("Dada" or the "Company"), China's leading local on-demand delivery and
retail platform, is pleased to announce that JDDJ's Data Research
Institute today released its 2020 White Paper, "On-demand
Consumption of Mobile Phones." The White Paper states
that as digital transformation brings new sales engines for
electronics stores and establishes online service standards, mobile
phones have become the category with the most potential in the
field of on-demand retail, outside of fresh food and groceries.
JD Daojia ("JDDJ"), the local on-demand retail platform of Dada
Group, collaborates with electronics stores to promote online
purchases of mobile phones across the country. JDDJ achieved a new
milestone at the end of 2020 with more than 6,000 online
electronics stores and 150 partner dealers on the platform. As a
result, the mobile phone category was the fastest-growing category
for JDDJ in 2020.
Huijian He, the Vice President of Dada Group, said, "Mobile
phones offer the most promising opportunities for growth in the age
of on-demand retail. With the vision of 'Bringing People Everything
on Demand', JDDJ has expanded its presence in lower-tier cities and
seeks to collaborate with more electronics stores, bringing its
convenient one-hour delivery service to a growing consumer
base."
The White Paper notes that more than 90% of consumers choosing
JDDJ are attracted by its one-hour delivery service. Consumers
prefer JDDJ's one-hour delivery rather than standard overnight or
next day shipping options. To ensure the safety of high-value
orders, Dada Now, the local on-demand delivery platform of Dada
Group, selects specially qualified riders who have undergone
training through the Dada Now smart logistics system.
Additionally, the average delivery time for mobile phones in
2020 was cut by 17% compared with 2019, with the fastest order was
delivered in a mere 10 minutes. The combination of speed, security
and steadily improved efficiency has resulted in high customer
satisfaction, and 84% of consumers report being satisfied with the
one-hour delivery service. The White Paper also notes that JDDJ has
extended its mobile phone business to Harbin, Heilongjiang
Province in the north;to Haikou, Hainan
Province in the south; and to Lincang, Yunnan Provence in
the west.
JDDJ and JD.com began their in-depth partnership to create an
omni-channel fulfillment program in 2020, building an extensive
online and offline retailing ecosystem for one-hour delivery. The
partnership enables users who place an order on JD.com to receive
the product from nearby stores on JDDJ's platform and enjoy Dada
Now's home delivery service. The partnership has been successful so
far, and according to JDDJ's data, sales through JD's omni-channel
fulfillment program on 12.12 event were twice of that on 11.11
event in 2020.
"Dada Group is an important partner for JD's omni-channel
strategy," said Daniel Tan,
President of JD Retail's Mobile Business Unit. "JD Mobile and JDDJ
have created a micro e-commerce shopping ecosystem that not only
helps retailers improve their efficiency, but also gradually
changes consumers' online consumption habits. Together, we can
harness the advantages of our combined supply chain logistics
technologies and knowledge to get back to what's most important in
e-commerce: direct contact with consumers."
